About My Clients

Are you feeling lost, confused, or isolated in a world that doesn’t quite understand who you are and what box to put you in? Do you struggle with self-esteem, which could show up in the form of a self-critical voice, perfectionistic drive, or a feeling that you’re never quite good enough? Or just existential thoughts like “Who even am I?” Have you experienced a lot of changing relationships, schools or homes due to moving and find it hard to have meaningful and satisfying relationships?

My Background and Approach

I approach therapy with a holistic view that there isn’t one framework or style that fits every client. I strive to meet you where you are, create a safe space where you feel seen and understood, and set realistic and achievable goals with you to overcome challenges and improve your life. My style is straightforward, practical and warm. I have seen how a strong and consistent therapeutic relationship can help improve self-awareness, promote healing, and allow for significant personal growth. I was born in India, grew up in Singapore, and have since spent over a decade studying, living and working in multiple multicultural cities in Europe and North America. My journey to develop my own sense of self has played a significant role in my calling to help adolescents and adults navigate their unique issues around cultural identity, adjustment, assimilation, and multicultural families and relationships.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
